……

A few miles outside the Changyang Gorge, the army of Huang Kang's army marched towards the mouth of the valley in a mighty manner. Looking at it, the mess left behind by Liu Yao's defeat a few days ago is still vivid, and it can't help but make people feel alarmed.

Huang Dang glanced at the traces left by the battle outside the mouth of the canyon, roughly deduced the defeat of Liu Yao, and then said disdainfully: "This Liu Yao, who is innocent of death, actually put such an important grain and grass in the rear, it is even more stupid than a pig." ”

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward a few steps, and then said to the guards behind him: "Immediately send a team of people into the inner horse to carefully investigate, and if there are any suspicious traces, come back immediately to report." ”

"Yes!"

The guard answered, and immediately ordered the soldiers to inspect the movement in the canyon.

Seeing that the guard left with more than ten fast horses, Huang Dang wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, looked back at the soldiers of his flag regiment, and nodded with satisfaction.

"When Changyang is defeated, I want the military governor to make a request, let Dong Tianke, the old bastard, kneel in front of me and lick my toes, hahaha, ahh......h

Thinking of this, Huang Dare laughed, but as soon as his mouth opened, a burst of yellow sand swept across his mouthful of sand, and he quickly spit it out.

After a while, the soldiers who had gone to search the canyon for ambushes returned to the formation and reported to Huang Dang that everything was normal.

"Hmm......" After listening to the spies' report, Huang Dang fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to the spies, "You go and check if there is a way up the canyon nearby?" ”

When the guards and a few spies heard this, they immediately showed a puzzled expression, and said after a while: "Returning to the Banner Envoy, there are indeed several roads leading to the valley in the canyon, but I don't know why the Banner Envoy asks this?" ”

Huang Dan pointed to the canyon in front of him and said: "This gorge stretches for dozens of miles, my army can't go out today no matter what, if we set up camp in the gorge, Changyang suddenly attacked at night, how can the military camp that stretches for several miles respond quickly?"

At that time, he was afraid that the whole battalion would be in chaos, and he would be defeated by Lu Rebellion and they would take advantage of the situation and repeat Liu Yao's mistakes, so the general wanted to place the army on the canyon, and look down on the four fields in a condescending manner, and immediately lead the army to rush down when there was a change, which could also be used as an ambush. ”

"The commander is wise, and his subordinates are admired." The few guards who Huang dared to say nodded again and again.

"And how do you carry these loads up the canyon?" At this time, a junior colonel asked, "There is also a scarcity of water sources on the mountain, what if the Changyang defenders cut off the waterway?"

"Hmm......" Huang Dang nodded when he heard this, and looked at the junior colonel, "What you said is not unreasonable, but we are just camping on the mountain for one night, and we have prepared a water source for two days in advance, even if the waterway is intercepted, we can deal with it calmly.

As for those grain and grass equipment, anyway, there are so many people, everyone just need to work hard, I said that you kid is too cautious, but you should be like this when you are young, and you can see that the military governor is in his early twenties and has a high position as the former military governor.

In the future, the way of this world will depend on you young people, hahaha......"

When the little colonel heard that Huang dared to praise, he hurriedly bowed his hand: "The flag regiment made the adults praise falsely, and the subordinates dare not be ashamed." ”

Huang Dang nodded: "Okay Huo Qing, hurry up and prepare, when the rebellion is killed this time, I will definitely ask the military governor for your life, so that you can also have the opportunity to lead an army alone." ”

Huo Qing hurriedly said: "Thank you to the Yellow Flag Envoy for promoting ......"

……

"Brother Bai, what do you think is going on in that canyon? Why did they place their army in the valley? ”

In the evening, the three thousand righteous troops who rushed to the Changyang Gorge, looking at the smoke curling above the Neizhong Canyon, Xu Liao couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Bai Yue pressed the saber in his hand, his eyes were firmly fixed on the fire above the canyon, and he was constantly thinking about the countermeasures to break the enemy.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said to Xu Liao: "Huang dares to be cautious, camping on this canyon can avoid being attacked by people in the canyon, and with the condescending force, our cavalry has become a burden, and he is really worthy of being a veteran who has led troops for many years." ”

"When I see Hu Nu, I won't just be a turtle with a shrunken head...... Xu Liao muttered dissatisfiedly after listening to Bai Yue's evaluation of Huang Kang.

Bai Yue didn't care about Xu Liao's expression, and continued: "If you want to break his Huang Dang's department, you must first cut off its waterway, there is only one water source in the canyon leading to Changyang, we will cut it off first, and wait for their army to be in chaos, even if tens of thousands of troops are defeated." ”

When Xu Liao heard this, he said: "Didn't you say that Huang Dare is good at using soldiers? How could you be defenseless? What if he prepares the water source in advance, even if we cut off the waterway?

Moreover, this place is a maximum of three days away from Wanping, in case the return of the exploration horse attracts a large army, won't we be in danger? ”

Bai Yue nodded: "What Brother Xu said is right, so cutting off the water source is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to use fire attacks to force them to mess with themselves, and then hold the key crossing where they are downhill, Huang Dare will be defeated!" ”

After listening to Bai Yue's analysis, Xu Liao looked at the spark on the mountain again, turned back to him and said, "Since this is the case, without further ado, I will go and prepare hay and fire oil." ”

Bai Yue said: "Then I will go and cut off the waterway, and at the end of the night, I will trap Huang Kang's army in the canyon, so that I think the military governor will compromise and negotiate with my brother." ”

Xu Liao sighed and said no more, and after arching his hand with Bai Yue, he turned his horse and ordered the soldiers and horses.

……

At midnight, Huang Dang lay in the tent he set up and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and finally simply got up and came to the outside of the tent, looked at the starry sky, and sighed heavily.

"Strange, why is your heart so unsteady? It shouldn't be a problem......"

Huang Dang shook his head, and then walked towards the place where the other soldiers were camping.

When he came to the marching carpet with snoring one after another, Huang Dan couldn't help but shake his head: "I may not have taken the initiative to go out for a long time, and I am a little uncomfortable, so it's not bad to move my old bones again, and I can start a decisive battle with Changyang tomorrow!" ”

After calming his thoughts, Huang Dang stretched, then looked at the soldiers lying on the carpet, turned around and walked towards his tent.

"Why is it so hot all of a sudden? It's summer, but it's autumn......"

Just after taking a few steps, Huang Dang suddenly felt a trace of fine sweat slip down his forehead, and the air he inhaled seemed to have a burning sensation, which made his heart even more restless.

"It's on fire under the mountain~"

"Bang ~~"

"Knock knock~"

Suddenly, a sharp shrill of the soldiers on the night vigil sounded in the silent camp, accompanied by the rapid beating of drums, which suddenly woke up the sleeping soldiers.

"Huh? Not good! ”

When Huang Dang heard the fire at the bottom of the mountain, he was startled, and immediately looked down the canyon, but saw that the nearby roads were full of fire shadows and gray smoke, blending with the night to form a death canopy.

"Your Excellency, there are fires all over the mountain, and we are trapped here!" A personal guard immediately ran to Huang Kang's side and said in a panic.

"Panic what!" Huang Dang roared, "Immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses, take advantage of the fire is not yet big, quickly prepare to push the wood and rolling stones, concentrate in one place to extinguish the fire with the help of the raised dust, and also teach the Changyang army in ambush in the gorge a lesson, and wait for them to be chaotic together and descend, and defeat them in one go!" ”

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

"Wait, call Huo Qing quickly!"

"Yes!"

……

"Boom Boom Boom~"

Countless rocks and trees tumbled down the slope, and actually extinguished a fire under a gorge.

"Kill~"

Seeing that the fire was weakening, thousands of Huang Kang's headquarters soldiers and horses roared and rushed down the mountain.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Bai Yue, who was guarding dozens of steps away from the lower entrance of the gorge, saw the figures on the ramp moving, and immediately ordered the cavalry behind him to shoot the arrows in his hands.

"Puff~"

"Ahh~"

The arrows and the screams of the soldiers rang out almost simultaneously, echoing through the valley for a long time.

Bai Yue raised his knife and pointed: "Don't let anyone go, keep shooting, and force them all back to the mountain." ”

"Flutter~"

"Uh~"

In the darkness, another rain of arrows struck, and countless soldiers rolled down the hill before they could even see what the enemy who shot them looked like.

"Kill~"

A soldier whose neck was pierced by an arrow, not dead for a moment, tried to let out a roar, and continued to rush with the waist knife in his hand against the enemy horses in the darkness down the slope.

"Flutter~"

"Puff ......"

At the moment when he felt that the terrain was beginning to flatten, seven or eight feathered arrows sank into his chest, and finally he fell heavily on the way to the charge, his face full of unwillingness.

"Traitor, take your life!"

The other sword and shield bearer gathered his shield under his chest and forehead, and rushed to meet the rain of arrows. His shield was already full of arrows, his eyes were full of angry flames, and he stared at the enemy horsemen a dozen paces ahead.

Seeing this, Bai Yue pulled out a heavy arrow cluster in the shape of a shovel from under the saddle and aimed it at the sword and shield man with an iron-tire bow.

"Boom~"

A round string stirred, and the heavy arrow let out a sharp whistling and headed straight for the shield of the sword and shield man.

"Smack~"

"Poof~"

The whistling heavy arrow instantly tore apart the remnants of the shield hand, slashing off his wrists and piercing his chest.

The sword and shield hand had a look of disbelief on his face, and the last thing he saw in his life was the cluster of arrows that were still shaking in front of his chest, and finally he slowly lost consciousness and became one with the earth......

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly......"

Seeing that more than 100 people were overturned by arrows at the downhill place, the soldiers of Huang Kang's subordinates who had broken through before were suddenly demoralized, and after shouting, they ran towards the mountain one after another.

Bai Yue looked at the black shadow surging towards the mountain, raised his hand and said: "Continue to light the fire, don't let anyone down, go to other downhill entrances along the way to carefully inspect, if there are enemy troops appear, they will all be shot!" ”

"Yes!" More than a thousand rebels behind him heard the words and all took orders.

Soon the flames that had been extinguished at the entrance of the ramp burned again, and the gray smoke continued to spread high into the air.

"Stop rushing the slope, the whole army will wait for the upper gorge, and wait until dawn to see the enemy's situation and then attack it in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that several breakthroughs were forced back, Huang Kang immediately changed his strategy and decided to form a formation on the mountain first.

"Lord Banner Envoy, Huo Qing brings it."

At this moment, Huang Dang had ordered someone to find Xiao Xiao Huo Qing and was brought to him.

Huang Dan glanced at Huo Qing, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to him, and said earnestly: "Xiaoqing, listen well, if there are three long and two short in this battle, you must find a way to break out, and after seeing the military governor, give him this letter, and there is a letter written by me recommending you to take over the position of the flag envoy." ”

Huo Qing hurriedly said: "Yellow Flag Envoy, I won't leave, I, Huo Qing, want to advance and retreat with the soldiers." ”

"Smack~"

As soon as Huo Qing's words fell, Huang Kang slapped him in the face and scolded angrily: "Something that has no interest, your father let me take good care of you before he died, I hope to see you grow up and become talented, I didn't expect it to be under Dong Tianke, I just hope that you will live peacefully for the rest of your life,

But I know this is not what you want, now that the military governor is here, you have the opportunity to follow him to make a meritorious service, are you willing to miss such a good opportunity? ”

"Flag Envoy!" Huo Qing couldn't cry when he heard this, "My subordinates know that you have always treated me as my own, how could I leave you and my brothers and run away alone!" ”

"Silly boy......" Huang Dare laughed, "Who told you that I would die?" It's just a matter of what if, you know? Okay, manly man, blood without tears, what are you crying about? What about howling for me? Hurry up and get ready, remember, you must get out alive......"

"Subordinates obey orders~" Huo Qing wiped away his tears and bowed heavily to Huang Dang.
